Why Workspot

Workspot is reinventing Virtual Desktop Infrastructure (VDI) to transform how IT securely delivers desktops, applications

and data to any device. DaaS 2.0 and VDI 2.0 solve the challenges with VDI 1.0. By leveraging a disruptive cloud

architecture, Workspot enables IT to simplify operations, deliver high performance to any user, and at the lowest cost of

any VDI solution on the market.

1. VDI Industry Leaders Run Workspot Workspot’s leadership built VDI 1.0. The company is co-founded and led by former Citrix and VMware alumni including Amitabh Sinha, the former GM of the Citrix XenApp and XenDesktop business unit and Puneet Chawla, the founding engineer of VMware Horizon View. Collectively, Workspot’s leadership team has worked with 250,000 organizations worldwide to successfully deploy application and desktop virtualization, including 95% of the Fortune 100 companies. We understand all the challenges of what you’ve been through with VMware Horizon View, Citrix XenApp, or XenDesktop.

2. Deploy Enterprise Class VDI in One Day on Azure or on-premises

Workspot enables you to deliver desktops and apps running either in Azure or on-premises to your users. Workspot simplifies app and desktop delivery by moving complex operational components into the cloud. The benefit of its design is that the cloud automates VDI’s specialized layers of technology, resulting in peak operational performance and requiring no management from IT. Thanks to the cloud, Workspot can be deployed in a single day and can scale instantly to add more users, desktops, or locations.

3. Lowest TCO/Zero CapEx Workspot has two deployment models:

(i) All-Cloud also referred to as Desktops as a Service 2.0 (DaaS 2.0)

(ii) Hybrid where control plane is in the cloud, but desktops run on premises. We refer to this deployment model

as VDI 2.0

With VDI 2.0, the load balancing, brokering, databases, portal, configuration, monitoring, and image management

functionalities are a cloud-centric service, requiring no deployment or ongoing maintenance resources. The benefits are:

• Upfront CapEx is reduced by 95% for VDI 2.0

• OpEx for deployment and management of component operations is reduced by 50-90%

• VDI can now be deployed in 1 day instead of 6-9 months.

• VDI 2.0 can achieve a TCO reduction of 50%+ compared to VDI 1.0.

Workspot VDI 2.0 simplifies the operational aspects of VDI deployment. But IT still needs to buy and manage the hardware

needed to run virtual desktops. Our DaaS 2.0 eliminates the CapEx requirements for VDI. DaaS 2.0 combines the power of

Azure with VDI 2.0, so that IT can deploy all their virtual desktops in Azure. With DaaS 2.0 there is no CapEx!

4. Cloud Control Plane/Single Pane of Glass Workspot’s disruptive approach to VDI is built on a unique next generation cloud control plane architecture. The separation between the control and data plane is critical for better performance, reliability, and scalability.

Highlights of the Control Plane:

• Data is transmitted securely directly between the end point and host. No sensitive data is transferred through the Workspot Cloud.

• Using a single pane of glass, IT can provision desktops and apps, set policies, and monitor performance.

• Scaling to more users is instant. The Workspot cloud doesn’t require sizing, installing, configuring critical components.

5. Simple, Unified Workspace

for Your End Users Workspot provides end users a simple, unified workspace for all their

desktops, applications, and data. IT can deliver the necessary mix and

match of VDI, apps, and data all in one unified workspace. Users can

access any of these tools from any of their devices (PC, Mac, iOS, and

Android). They have a consistent, fast, and seamless experience,

regardless of their location or device. The result is reduced calls to the

help desk.

Workspot delivers incredible user performance because it leverages a

built-in toolkit of enterprise-grade secured browser, powerful Single-

Sign On (SSO) technology and modular application engines. VDI 2.0

delivers the best-in-class experience for every class of application:

SaaS, VDI, Web, HTML5, Windows client-server, and Network File

Shares. Designed with future applications and workflows in mind,

Workspot delivers a future-proof workspace to end users.

6. Cloud-First, Hybrid Multi-Site Data Centers

Physical data centers are expensive. Therefore, for the last

two decades, IT has been consolidating data centers. This

results in deployment scenarios where most of the users of a

VDI 1.0 deployment are thousands of miles away. The cloud

and hyper-converged infrastructure allows you to re-think

your data center architecture. The cloud allows you to deploy

a virtual data center closer to your end users. For example, if

your remote users are in India and China, you can create an

Azure data center in those locations. For headquarter users

in North America, you might choose to use an on-premises

data center running hyper-converged infrastructure. Our

unique architecture allows you to think of data centers with a

cloud-first, hybrid, multi-site philosophy. Instead of

consolidating data centers, think of expanding.

7. No Risk Engagement Model We are focused on making our customers successful.

Legacy software vendors sell you software where the risk

of implementation is transferred to the customer. Projects

can take months, sometimes years. And often IT is unable

to see the value of the software purchased. We don’t think

is fair. We have designed our product to be insanely

simple and we want to ensure that you see the value of

the solution. For that reason, we have introduced a no risk

engagement model where a customer has a 45 day period

in which we will prove to them the value of our solution. If

we are unable to do so to the satisfaction of the customer,

we do not bill the customer.

During the 45 day period, our customer success team works with the customer to deliver a pilot. There are three stages to

the pilot:

(i) Pre-deployment Planning, involving creation of use cases and a mutual success plan

(ii) Create Deployment Environment either on Azure or on-premises

(iii) Pilot Users

The customer success process is offered to the customer at no extra cost. The service is included in the subscription cost.
